DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The present invention is a decorative jewelry module that has multipleembodiments. The decorative jewelry module has at least one sidewallincludes a circular sidewall in addition to a square, rectangle,trapezoid, hexagon, pentagon, octagon, oval, elliptical and triangle.

In addition the decorative jewelry module has least one top edge whichincludes the circular top edge that is a square, rectangle, trapezoid,hexagon, pentagram, octagon and triangle. Another embodiment has adecorative front.

A ferrofluid is a colloidal liquid made of nanoscale ferromagnetic orferrimagnetic particles suspended in a carrier fluid. Each tiny particleis thoroughly coated with a surfactant to inhibit clumping. Largeferromagnetic particles can be tipped out of the homogenous colloidalmixture, forming a separate clump of magnetic dust when exposed to astrong magnetic field. The magnetic attraction of nanoparticles is weakenough that the surfactant's Vander Waals force is sufficient to preventmagnetic clumping or agglomeration. Ferrofluids usually do not retainmagnetization in the absence of an externally applied field and thus areoften classified as superparamagnets rather than ferromagnets

FIG. 1 shows the flat magnet 16 attached to the back 6 of the decorativejewelry module 2. The back 6 has a front surface 12 and a back surface14. The magnet 16 is attached to the back surface 14 of the back 6.

FIG. 2 shows the crystal face 8 attached to the back surface 20 of thefront 10 of the decorative jewelry module 2. Some embodiments havedifferent designs and arrangements to the front surface 18 of the front10.

FIG. 3 shows the ferrofluid housing 22 of the decorative jewelry module2.

FIG. 4 shows the mirror 4 of the decorative jewelry module 2 from theside. The mirror is attached to the front surface 12 of the back 6. Thepositioning of the flat mirror 4 is such that light is reflected forwardaway from the back 6 and therefore toward the front 10 and through thecrystal face 8. The Front surface 24 of the mirror will reflect lightwhile the back surface 26 will not reflect light.

FIG. 5 shows the flat magnet 16 attached to the back 6 of the decorativejewelry module 2 from the side. The flat magnet 16 is attached to theback surface 20 of the back 6.

FIG. 6 shows the crystal face 8 attached to the front 10 of thedecorative jewelry module 2 from the side. The crystal face 8 isattached to the back surface 20 of the front 10. The front surface 18 isalso visible.

FIG. 7 shows the ferrofluid housing 22 of the decorative jewelry module2 from the side. It is clear from this view that the ferrofluid ishoused between front 10 with its crystal face 8 and the back 6 with itsflat magnet 16.

FIG. 8 shows the fiat mirror 16 of the decorative jewelry module 2 fromthe front 24. The front surface 24 of the flat mirror is reflectivewhile the back surface 26 is not.

FIG. 9 shows the decorative jewelry module 2. The flat magnet 16 isattached to the back surface 14 of the back 6. The flat mirror 4 isattached to the front surface 12 of the back 6. The ferrofluid 28 isattracted to the flat magnet 16 which draws the ferrofluid 28 againstthe flat mirror 4. The ferrofluid 28 is contained within the housing 22and with the front 10 attached the ferrofluid is encased within thedecorative jewelry module 2. The front can also contain the crystal face8.

FIG. 10 shows the flat magnet 16 attached to the back 6 with the flatmirror 4 and the ferrofluid 28. The flat magnet 16 attracts theferrofluid 28 so it will sit on top of the flat mirror 4.

FIG. 11 shows the decorative jewelry module 2 as a square 30. Thisembodiment is configured the same as the other embodiments except is hasa square configuration 30. The front 10 contains a crystal face 8 withferrofluid 28 contained within the housing 22.
